Novel Full 348 Huh? Just who is thinking about me？
“Let’s say your Teacher and Nux do fight each other, What would you then?
Who would you side with?
Nux, your student, or your teacher?”
Ember narrowed her eyes and questioned.
Hearing those words, Arvina turned silent and started thinking.
Her Teacher who supported her throughout her life, or her student? Who would she choose?
It was a big question, she needed time to think about it.
However, even after thinking for a good 5 minutes, Arvina was unable to come up with an answer.
“So you haven’t decided that, have you?”
Ember questioned.
Hearing those words, Arvina snapped,
“This question is wrong to begin with.”
Ember frowned, however, Arvina didn’t care about that and continued,
“A hypothetical situation means nothing.
What you are saying doesn’t make any sense.
As I said before, I will make sure that my Teacher and Nux don’t face each other. I have talked about this with Nux and I am sure he would respect my words and my plans.
Talking about something that won’t happen is useless.”
Arvina snorted.
Ember, however, didn’t seem satisfied by that answer.
Well, she can’t be blamed either.
Unlike Arvina, she knew how Nux’s ability works.
If they follow Arvina’s plans, Nux would never become an Emperor Stage Cultivator and would always be stuck in King Stage.
To break through the King Stage, Nux would need Arvina’s Teacher’s help. Therefore, he can’t wait and lay low until she dies.
The two of them have to meet each other.
And once they meet, they would most probably be enemies.
That was the reason why Ember was trying to prepare Arvina for this situation.
“It is a hypo-”
However, before she could even complete her words, Arvina questioned.
“Why do you care?”
“Huh?”
Ember frowned at the sudden question.
“You were too aggressive with your previous questions for someone who only knew Nux for like, a month.
In the end, he is just a boy sent by me to your army camp so that he can gain a little experienced, why are you so involved with him?
It is not like you cannot run away from the Woods Dynasty on your own, it might be more complicated than just directly getting Nux’s help, but I still believe that if a King Stage Cultivator like you wants to, you can easily hide from the world.
Isn’t Nux just a more convenient way out for you?”
“No, Nux is not just a more convenient way out for me, our relationship is a lot deeper than you think.”
Ember’s reply was instantaneous. From her tone, it was clear that she did not like Arvina’s words one bit.
Arvina, however, did not back down.
“Oh? What is your relationship with him then?
What would you do if Nux ends up fighting an Emperor Stage CUltviator, would you run away, or would you fight together with him?”
“I will fight together with him of course, I would use my life to protect him if the situation asks for it.
Remember, Arvina, I was the General of the Army before coming here, I am not scared of losing my life.”
Arvina was taken aback by those words.
She never expected Ember to say such words and with such convictions at that…
It was a bit overwhelming if she was to be honest.
“J-Just what is your relationship with Nux for you to say those words without any hesitation?”
Arvina questioned.
She didn’t know if even she could say those words with such determination.
Suddenly, a small smile appeared on Ember’s face as she revealed.
“We are lovers.”
“HUH!?”
Arvina’s eyes widened in surprise.
“You heard it, we two are lovers now.”
Ember repeated.
“HOW!?”
Arvina still believed that Ember was lying to her, however, seeing that Ember wasn’t saying anything else after that, Arvina realized that she wasn’t fooling around…
Ember was actually serious.
“W-What about that challenge of yours? About the man defeating you before winning your heart?”
Arvina questioned.
“Didn’t you see his cultivation just now?”
Ember questioned back.
“I did, he was a King Stage…”
Arvina realized.
“He… he defeated you?”
A wry smile appeared on Ember’s face.
“Although it is a bit embarrassing for me to lose against someone so younger than me, in the end, I just accepted the reality and my loss”
Then, a beautiful smile appeared on Ember’s face as she continued,
I got the love of my life in exchange, after all.”
“…”
Arvina turned silent.
She couldn’t believe that the woman blushing and smiling in front of her was that fierce General who has killed thousands of people with her sword.
‘J-Just how did he do that?’
She wondered in surprise.
With the help of her newly gained insight, Arvina wasn’t shocked by the fact that Nux is now strong enough to defeat Ember, one of the strongest King Stage CUltviator in this world, however, that smile on Ember’s face…
It is not something that a woman who got into a relationship with a man by a bet or a challenge would show.
That was the smile on a Woman in love.
She has seen this smile on countless women’s faces, however, never in her wildest dreams did she think that she would see this smile on Ember’s face.
This was…
This was simply amazing…
Arvina was surprised and overwhelmed, however, at the same time, she was a little annoyed,
‘Why is that boy going around charming countless women like it is some sort of competition?’
Half of the girls in the Academy dream about him, even a few married female teachers have their eyes on him, but as if that was not enough, this boy just went to an Army camp and brought back the General of that Army with him as his woman!?
Just how ridiculous is that!?
Arvina was out of words, her eyes then fell on Ember, who seemed to be lost in her own fantasy and couldn’t believe her eyes.
‘What is with that silly smile on your face? You are doing this on purpose, aren’t you?’
Arvina questioned inwardly, however, seeing that there was no change in Ember’s expression, she couldn’t help but shake her head and curse in her head.
‘Nux, you little bastard…’
“A-A-Aaanchii!”
On the other side, Nux, who was about to meet Amaya sneezed, and then, he frowned,
‘Huh? Just who is thinking about me?’
He wondered inwardly.
Soon, a playful smile appeared on his face as he nodded to himself,
‘I bet she is a woman.
Kukuku~’
